Hey Treep
I'm not completely opposed to a government provided basic income.. in fact I think it already exists for those who need it (see Sec 8 housing, welfare, WIC, etc)
But let's say we do enact UBI:
How much should it be? The same in New York as it is in Oklahoma? The same for a couple with 5 kids as a couple with 2?
And what welfare programs should we drop in favor of it? In other words, once Johnny has his UBI, what assistance can we safely stop offering him?
And I'll even come out and say it in advance... this is a total trap. Klam might advise you to tiptoe on past it

I can't wait for the day when I can put a self check-in and payment kiosk on #1 tee.
Of course the golf demographic is similar to Delaware football nation and not exactly what you'd describe as "early adopters."
The simple solution to New York vs. Oklahoma is to move all the UBI New Yorkers TO Oklahoma. They'll fit right in for the most part after they each get over the accent thing. Think of it as a progressive Trail of Tears.

Millennial Democrat mayor snared by Federal investigation...
https://www.bizjournals.com/boston/news ... fraud.htmlA Mercedes, jewelry, designer shoes and trips to casinos; the young mayor of Fall River was living the high life, but federal investigators say it was done with stolen cash.
Fall River Mayor Jasiel F. Correia II was arrested Thursday at his home and charged with multiple counts of wire fraud and filing false tax returns in connection with alleged theft of money from people who invested in his business app. He is facing charges in federal court in Boston Thursday morning.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
Pfft
If we dont care about their complicity in 9/11 then why should this move the needle at all?
Its all about the feelz though...
A Dem Prez like Obama would have handled this much differently than Trump - that's for sure
But the endgame would be exactly the same - US largesse for the house of Saud
In a way, this was a rare moment of honesty from Trump - not a US citizen, and we don't tank gazillions of dollars in arms sales for one guy- in any other admin those same comments get made behind closed doors in the WH
of course then Trump went back to business as usual with the rogue killas

How we should treat them vs how we actually treat them are on opposite ends of the spectrum
There is nobody out there who could ever occupy the WH who could do differently
Trump had an outside chance at it, but he has proven to be no different in the endgame - but at least he's honest about it - "we have a gazillion dollar arms sale on the line" - That may be the most true and honest statement ever made about Saudi Arabia by a US President

My point was that Obama got lambasted for weakness and Trump is no different when it comes to this. Honesty as to why is appreciated but it doesn't change the fact that regardless of administration we fraternize with #1 state sponsor of muslim terrorism in the world.

When you think about it, in terms of rhetoric, Obama was a complete outlier in terms of ME relations in comparison to every post Cold War President who preceded him - criticisms of his foreign policy in that venue are well warranted given his results were the same, and worse in some cases

I don’t like being cornered into an Obama apologist on this but you do remember who first coined the phrase “religion of peace”, right?

They all paid lip service to not demonizing islam but only Obama was completely lost in the woods as to the reality of the overall situation in that part of the world - he actually thought he could generate goodwill in the Muslim world with a couple of well crafted speeches. The other guys were just trying not to get branded as Islamophobes within their own electorate
Only a complete naif would have supported the Arab Spring/Muslim Brotherhood/Libyan insurgency
That isn't to deflect from Clinton's and Bush's mistakes (and one of them was YUGE) but the central themes to their foreign policies on the ME were not based completely in naivete and wishful thinking as were Obama's. And Obama literally had a direct example from his predecessor that he could have learned from but went down that road anyway.

Do you not think one of the goals of the neo-cons was to create a bulwark for the middle east in Iraq from which democracy would flow?
